My top all time Fav book (even though I don't read alot) is John Steakley's book "Armor"... It's kind of like Starship Troopers (killing bugs on a distant planet) BUT faaaaaaaaaaaaaar better the ST... If any of you happen to like the movie Starship Troopers I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Armor"... If your not into that type of reading then it might not be all that good. However I didn't like the movie ST BUT I love this book.
Second would be "Dark Empire" and "Dark Empire II" which is the story after Episode VI Return of the Jedi. "Dark Empire" talks about how Palpatine came back after he fell to his death and Luke turning to the Dark Side..

Hi CG  i havent read any good books in a while.. Im pretty much with Studdog on the books though,Bible & school textbooks hehehe For the fun reading though.. i really enjoy science fiction/horror and mystery fantasy books; Vampire and Werewolves usually make for an entertaining book. I also like books that involve magic,something like harry potter.. Anything thats fantasy, and thats not of this world.. i love to read about lol!

Hey Capt.Canada the book you said "The Black Hole" is that the same one that was made into a movie back in 1979?

Not much a fan of reading, but when I do, it's often apologetic books and the Bible.

Well darn, I can't find my old "Literary Corner" thread so if CG doesn't mind I'll just post this here. Right now I am reading Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. Whenever you hear those on the left call us Fascists or Nazis, you might want to point them to this book, which points out the historic connection between those two doctrines and today's left.
I recently finished: Dad: The Man Who Lied To Save The Planet (12 Timeless Virtues Handed Down to a Son by an Everyday Dad) A quick, easy read that tells of the virtues a son learned from his dad.

Currently reading:
Nachi Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide - Reading this one at work. 1/2 of our robots are Nachi and the other half are Motoman... We are having an issue with one of our robots, and the Nachi reps aren't much help... Neither is the manual really, since it is written in Japlish (poorly translated Japenese)...
Visual Basic 2008 in 24 Hours - Reading this one at home, still teaching myself VB2008...

If not, and with CG's permission, I suppose we could use her thread for that purpose. _________________ Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium!
